Grado Labs, one of the oldest family owned companies in the Audio Industry, has for over half a century been among the leaders in design engineering for the high end audio and recording industries.
Grado is famous for their remarkable Grado headphone and Grado phono cartridge designs, and hold over 48 patents. Company founder, Joseph Grado, is credited as the inventor of the stereo moving coil phono cartridge. He is responsible for more innovations in phono cartridge design than any other person in our lifetime, and was inducted into the Audio Hall of Fame in 1982.
Grado Labs Phono Cartridges are respected for their coherence and musicality, whether you are looking at the hybrid moving coil and flux-bridger Grado Statement Series cartridges for the audiophile, or the affordable Grado Prestige Series phono cartridges.
All Grado headphones and phono cartridges are still hand-made in the USA.
The Grado Professional, Statement, Reference Series Headphones along with the Prestige Series SR325is, SR225i and SR125i feature voice-coils that are wound from ultra-high purity, long crystal (UHPLC) oxygen free copper. Each headphone driver is made to Grado's high standards, then pair-matched for exact imaging.
